Suspecting diabetes? Here are 9 early symptoms of diabetes~

I have gathered the symptoms you may notice when diabetes occurs.

Please check how many apply to you~

 

1. Post-meal drowsiness

If you feel overwhelmingly sleepy to the point of difficulty, it is likely an early symptom of diabetes caused by blood sugar fluctuations.

 

2. Numbness in arms and legs

 

When blood sugar levels are high, blood circulation is not properly maintained, leading to a decrease in the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the body.

 

3. Thirst

 

As blood sugar levels rise in the body, beans and red beans try to eliminate it, and if this state continues, it requires more water, which can naturally lead to feelings of thirst.

 

4. Severe hunger & increased appetite

 

You may frequently feel hungry and have an increased appetite. This is because a lack of insulin causes blood sugar levels to rise, leading to a deficiency in energy supply.

 

5. Urination

 

When blood sugar levels rise, the body tends to urinate more frequently. If nocturnal urination becomes frequent, it could be a sign of diabetes.

 

6. Skin

 

When you have diabetes, your skin may become dry and itchy, and black spots may appear.

 

7. Slowed wound healing

 

If a small wound takes longer to heal, early symptoms of diabetes should be suspected. Poor blood circulation causes delayed recovery. This can occur due to vascular damage and weakened immunity.

 

8. Weight loss or gain

 

Depending on the type of disease, weight may decrease or increase. In the case of Type 1 diabetes, weight loss is mainly observed, while in Type 2 diabetes, obesity or overweight is often present.

If you lose weight without any special management, you should be cautious.

 

9. Eye

 

When blood sugar levels rise, the balance of eye moisture can change, causing blurred vision. If the blurriness is temporary, it may be due to fatigue, but if it persists without improvement, it could be related to diabetes, so please keep that in mind.
